EFFECTS OF ACUTE EXPOSURE:
Exposure to PURE oxygen (for prolonged periods at pressures higher than atmospheric) may cause nausea,
dizziness, pulmonary damages, epileptic seizures, death.
Such effects have been reported as a function of the pressure. Therapeutic uses of Oxygen should be supervised by
competent medical personnel.

SKIN:
Gaseous Oxygen may harm the unprotected eye if delivered at pressures higher than
atmospheric. Obtain medical attention if damages are suspected.
Not applicable
Exposures to PURE Oxygen for a prolonged period (from 5 minutes @ 100psig. to 5 hrs
@ 1atm.) have been reported to cause pulmonary irritation, edema. Reduce pressure,
move to fresh air when possible. Obtain Medical attention.

CLOTHING:
RESPIRATOR:
Safety glasses or goggles to protect from accidental deliveries (leaks) under pressure.
Not applicable.
Safety footwear where applicable.
Long sleeves, trousers recommended.
Not applicable.
ENGINEERING CONTROLS: Provide ventilation. Keep oil, grease, and combustible materials away.
SPILL AND LEAK PROCEDURE:
Remove all sources of ignition. Clear the area. Spills on combustible surfaces may cause a fire hazard. Try to stop the
leak at source if without risk. Gas will dissipate depending on the site/area ventilation. Verify oxygen concentration prior
to re-entry.
WASTE DISPOSAL:
No wastes may be generated other than empty containers.
HANDLING PROCEDURES & EQUIPMENT:
Use in ventilated areas. Keep away from Oil, Grease, Combustible, Flammable materials.
Use appropriate carts for moving containers. Secure container when in use. Close the container valve when NOT in
use, or when empty. Secure (restrain) during transportation or use.
STORAGE REQUIREMENTS:
Store in well ventilated areas. Keep away from sources of ignition. Store at temperatures
below 52oC.
SPECIAL SHIPPING INFORMATION:
Transport upright in well-ventilated vehicle. Do not transport in trunk of enclosed vehicle. Commercial (cylinders)
quantities may NOT be transported in passenger compartments.
